Cambridge University Press The Cambridge History of Philosophy 18701945
Book SynopsisThe Cambridge History of Philosophy 1870â1945 comprises over sixty specially commissioned essays by experts on the philosophy of this period and is designed to be accessible to non-specialists who have little previous familiarity with philosophy. As with the other volumes in the series, much of the emphasis of the essays is thematic, concentrating on developments during the period across a range of philosophical topics, from logic and metaphysics to political philosophy and philosophy of religion. Several chapters also discuss the changing relationship of philosophy to the natural and social sciences during this period. The result is an authoritative survey of this rich and varied period of philosophical activity, which will be of critical importance not only to teachers and students of philosophy but also to scholars in neighbouring disciplines such as the history of science, the history of ideas, theology and the social sciences.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: 'The overall standard of the contributions is high, and there is much to be gained from the brief but incisive essays … a valuable reference work.' Political Studies ReviewReview of the hardback: '… The Cambridge History of Philosophy is a magnificent achievement: a superb resource that can be recommended to all philosophers and anyone with an interest in the history of the period.'

Cambridge University Press jacquesderridaandthehumanities
Book SynopsisThe work of Jacques Derrida has transformed our understanding of a range of disciplines in the humanities through its questioning of some of the basic tenets of western metaphysics. This volume is a trans-disciplinary collection dedicated to his work; the assembled contributions - on law, literature, ethics, history, gender, politics and psychoanalysis, among others - constitute an investigation of the role of Derrida's work within the field of humanities, present and future. The volume is distinguished by work on some of his most recent writings, and contains Derrida's own address on 'the future of the humanities'. In addition to its pedagogic interest, this collection of essays attempts to respond to the question: what might be the relation of Derrida, or 'deconstruction' to the future of the humanities? The volume presents the most sustained examples yet of what deconstruction is in its current phase - as well as what its possible future may be.Table of ContentsAcknowledgments; Preface; Biographical chronology; Introduction; 1.
